The PIG I'm Hawaii.

The pig is almost a fetch in Hawaii; he
is credited with supernatural sagacity; is
sacrificed as an Offering of popular avail
to Pele, when that unpleasant goddess be-
comes obstreperous; is accounted, when
given by man to man, as the most delicate
expression of friendship, and is the choicest
expression of love and fealty that the sub
ject can offer his king His baking is
as solemnly considered and carried out as
any sacrificial rite. He is dispatched,
with all possible tenderness, after gen
erous diet of "poi"; his incipient bristles
are delicately removed, and his Internal
machinery dished up rs a particularly
agreeable bonnie bouche; he is washed and
cleaned and laid out white and innocent
for the fire. A hole is then dug in the
ground and lined with glistening banana
and ''ti'' leaves; red hot stones are placed
therein and others fill the interior of the
pig. He is placed upon layer of leaves,
two or three pals Of water are turned
upon him, vegetables ard seaweed are
packed about him, the earth is replaced
and he is left to steam and bake until the
time set for the 'luau" arrives. Deli
cious is he when served upat the table, as
pure and savory piece of meat as any
man would wish TO sit down to.-Hono-

RErRENcHMENr WAS NECESSARY.


Mrs. Bixby Determined TO Mako the
Household Bills as Light as Possible.
Mrs. Bixby became convinced the other
day that retrenchment was absolutely
necessary In her household expenses.
Business is duh" she said, "and /
must make our bills as light as possible.
Poor husband Is quite worried over our
affairs. Now, how can I save s. OF $40
and show Mr. Bixby that women can be
economical IL necessary / know she
said suddenly, Ia the joyful tone of one
who has had a happy thought Il win
do without the hat / intended getting TO
wear with my new gray suit / can wear
my black imported straw with il very
wei, and I win, too. / just must learn
to econuu8lEc.
Then she put on her hat and went down
town, 80 elatcd over her ''clear saving Of
Eve whole dollars, that she intended
walking home with Air BiNby 1t noon
and telling him al about IL.
Il wonder now," she said, 60 she
stopped before the windows of a glove
store, Il wonder IL / couldn't afford a
new pair Of those tan kid gloves with
stitching on the back. / really need
them. and I've saved S5 by going without
my hat, so-ycs, I'll get them; they'll
cost only So"
Ten minutes later she stood before the
ribbon counter in q dry goods store.
This ribbon is really very cheap" she
was saying to herself, ''and l need lot
Of ribbon awfully. Iwonder if l could af-
ford it today. Let me see, I-oh, of
course | can, after saving SO on that hat. :"
And she bought ten yards of ribbon at
twenty-five cents yard.
'Great sale of embroidery" she read
on flaring placard moment later.
"Just what | need,n she said, ''but
I've been doing without because / wanted
to economize; but I'm sure Charles could
MT say anything if bought little when
I've saved five whole dollars
So she bought "a little" for Sl.75.
Then she got "the greatest kind of bar
gain in remnants of French gingham for
$1.50.
81 never would have bought it," she
said to herself, "but it was so cheap, and
then I'd saved five dollars this morning"
Before reaching her husbands office
with the cheering news of her economy
she had bought four yards of lace, three
of insertion, pound of candy, two col
lars and a pair of cuffs, pair of slippers,
two pairs of hose, handkerchiefs, three
yards of lawn, fan, bunch of roses,
sSuOlueI ptlIA VI SAONcS' anu SIN linen
handkerchiefs and two neckties for Mr..
BiXby.
Then she repaired to Bixby's Office with
the tale of her economy, and ended by
saying:
"And here's few little things thought
/ could afford after saving so much by
going without my hat"
Bixby asked few questions, made a
rapid calculation, and said in an utterly
heartless tone:
''See here, Sally don't you economize
any more. You'll break me sure il you
do. You've got $169S worth of things
already out of that $5, and
You're just too mean for anything,

Rnr., and Girls, Innch.

A gentleman of leisure stopped recently
near one Of the coffee and pie stands that
abound down town in the neighborhoOd Of
large employing establishments with the
purpose of ascertaining what the boys and
girls ate and drank ut their monday lunch.
So soon as the whistle blew for II O'Clock
he found the stands swarmed and more
coming. Many of the boys and girls came
kettle in hand, which was filled with
either coffee or milk, and after n light
purchase OF pie or cake the lunch was car
ried to the shop for consumption. The
milk Is necessarily good, as it wouldn't
pay the proprietor of the stand to have it
otherwise, and have an inspector with his
lactometer to discover it. The coffee is
not subject to official suspicion, and there
fore is generally worthy Of doubt. The
pies, he fancied, must be good, as they are
supplied by great manufacturers who turn
them out by the thousands and can afford
to put palatablc t'worksn of varied in
gradients into them, As by buying fruits
and berries and sugar in big quantities
they get them very cheap. As to the crust,
itisn't any too rich. The cakes were dry,
and what nourishment the girls that eat
them obtain from the peculiar food is a
puzzle. One accomplished young lady,
who boasted Of thick bang. when ques-
toned on the subject, replied: "Oh, we
soaks 'em." +" a boy called for piece Of
rhu5arb pie, and washed it down with a
glass Of lemonade. He took his lunch
after the style Of other gentlemen-those
who patronize down town Delmonico's,
Nash & Crooks and the Astor house. He
ate from the counter and called for his
check. Possibly he tipped the waiter, too.

was an unusually bright and promising
child. the joy and pride Of DEVOTED pa

has taken her from their fond embrace,
and placed her among the innumerable
throng of angel children. where she now
"basks in the sunlight of Eternal happi-

to join her where there are no more Sc
parations.
Oh! how sadly we will all miss Jessie,

Hope looks beyond the bounds of time,
When what we now deplore
Shall rise in full immortal prime,
And bloom to fade no more"
